It’s not every day that you get to share a story that you truly believe changes a paradigm! Today is that day for us. We hope you agree: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Cell Membranes Sustain Phospholipid Imbalance Via Cholesterol Asymmetry What's the big idea? Tweetorial below! 1/9

We need a BIG BEAUTIFUL RESPONSE to the horrible rule proposal that came down from OMB in late May that will kill science and the science ecosystem. Our #BigBeautifulResponse needs to have maximum impact. 1/8 @BiophysicalSoc

Pretty cool!! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja… Last year, we showed that membranes can be asymmetric in an unexpected way: more phospholipids on one side than the other, balanced by cholesterol Here, Bogdanov et al show similar in EColi, with DAG doing cholesterol's flippy-buffer job

Presented at #ASCO26: Among patients with previously treated metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the RAS(ON) inhibitor daraxonrasib led to significantly longer overall survival and progression-free survival than chemotherapy. Full phase 3 RASolute 302 trial results: nej.md/4nWaxvM @ASCO

By the way this is how you get into a PhD program. I applied to 6 programs. The 3 I got into (NEU, Duke, and UA) were the ones where I did exactly this for the specific prof at each I was interested in. The 3 I did not get into (UT Austin, Berkeley, MIT) were the ones where I did not do this.

The best people I know at cold emailing will spend two entire days reading every single paper a person has written, and then a third day writing the email itself I think this is one of the most unconventional advice on cold emailing: be extremely intentional with who you want to reach out to, and seriously put the work to make yourself noticed

I know it's boring and repetitive to talk about how grossly evil Trump is, but the fact remains: Trump is grossly evil, in a way that's pretty much unprecedented in this country.

the shower is the alternate dimension where I realize I'm low on shampoo but as soon as I step through the curtain I'm transported back to this dimension where all my memories are wiped like in severance and I won’t remember i’m out of shampoo until im back in the shower

Both chambers of Congress have now passed the FY26 minibus with NIH provisions. The President will sign. (1) $48.7 billion for NIH (2) Full IDC recovery (3) No more multi-year funding (4) No NIH reorganization, maintaining the current IC structure.

Biopsies provide just a single snapshot of the underlying tissue. In our recent work published in @Nature, we made progress in estimating tissue-level dynamics from a biopsy using spatial proteomics. nature.com/articles/s4158…

New preprint! 🚨 Why has maximal human lifespan barely changed while median lifespan has doubled? We used a mechanistic mathematical model of aging to find that fundamental aging rates are strikingly conserved across individuals and over time. tinyurl.com/6xrv8329 🧵1/n
